New York, April 22, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — It’s a #CrowdFundRealty day this Thursday, April 24, in New York!

What better way to usher that day than to gather the top honchos of the real estate industry and realty-focused family offices from all over the globe in a VIP cocktail party at the Big Apple.

Nobody would want to miss out on this swanky cocktail happening on Wednesday night, 23 April 2014 at The Soho Loft penthouse in NYC. Grab a last minute ticket and hobnob with no less than the representatives of Trump Properties, the owners of the Hudson Hotel, the Morgans Hotel Group and largest minority owner of the Empire State Building, just to name a few.

Think about the success stories churning right off the bat from the leading realty crowdfunding players as they discuss about their remarkable progress in the industry. Chances are there will be an explosion of ideas among the guests.

To pump up more excitement in the real estate arena, these companies will be joining the “Global Real Estate Crowdfunding Conference II” the next day, Thursday, 24 April 2014 at The Players Club in 16 Gramercy Park South. The conference gathers the new class of crowd investors as well as traditional and institutional investors in one big platform. Once again, this conference will serve as a vehicle to share the opportunities and new approaches that will energize and sustain the burgeoning and promising real estate market and industry.

David Drake, chairman and founder of The Soho Loft says, “Crowdfunding is rapidly changing the real-estate investment market, offering developers new ways to finance projects, giving small investors a way in, and the socially-conscious an avenue to support their local communities.”

Count Erik Wachtmeister, CEO and founder of BestofAllWorlds.com, a by-invitation-only social navigator, located in Stockholm, Sweden is giving its full support to the conference, being an ardent believer of crowdfunding himself. The Best of All Worlds is setting its sights to become the ultimate discovery and matching platform for people as well as products and services online. It is also providing an intimate web environment to link global influencers and relevant connections who have the same interests, passions and backgrounds. Wachtmeister says, “So much of social media is about focusing on other people’s past. Best of all Worlds is about paying more attention to our own future.”

The conference is also proud to have the Stock & Fund Managers on board as one of its sponsors. S & F Managers has its roots in investment banking and asset management. It is the vanguard in structuring, developing and managing upscale hotel and real estate projects in the Galapagos Islands and Mar de Indias in Colombia. S & F will make its entry as the main developer of Delano Cartagena and Galapagos Villas & Resort in South America. This amazing project features an 18-hole golf course, residential units and many other up-to-the-minute amenities operated by the Morgans Hotel Group. Alexander Oppenheimer of S & F Managers, is excited to unveil these amazing projects and spectacular opportunities to the public during the conference. For the past years, S & F only had private exposure to investors.

The Carlton Group Real Estate Private Equity Bankers is also fully supporting the conference and its ideals. The Carlton Group specializes in raising equity and debt on big complex transactions. It also provides investment sales services for large commercial real estate assets and loans held by banks. Recently, this international real estate investment-banking firm entered the space of accredited equity crowdfunding. It offers accredited investors the opportunity to invest in large commercial real estate assets.

Patch of Land‘s support to the conference is noteworthy. It is establishing strategic partnerships with the leading players in the real estate, Right now, they are working with Wealthforge, the foremost crowdfunding broker-dealer network, and Kingdom Trust, the leading provider of alternative assets. AdaPia d’Errico, Chief Marketing Officer of Patch of Land says, “We embrace the opportunities for building wealth and growing communities by working together to promote crowdfunded and crowdfinanced investments.”
